FVWM: fvwm-themes problems

Hi,

I thought it's about time to give fvwm-themes a try.
(version 0.6.2 built for SunOS 5.8).

We're all forced here in my company to use the dt login/session manager.
I'm using a Dtsession X-resource, i.e.
"Dtsession*wmStartupCommand: /usr/local/gnu/bin/fvwm2",
to start fvwm instead of CDE (that's what we're supposed to use).
The docu says to add the startup command to .xsession or .xinitrc
(that's how I do it on my Linux PC), but AFAICS this Dtsession
doesn't read either .xinitrc nor .xsession.

I changed the startup command to "/usr/local/gnu/bin/fvwm-themes-start"
and this worked (the only problem I saw was with FvwmBanner see below)
until I tried to select one of the themes. Than I had
these nice color problems, e.g. menues in black on black.
Thus I've changed the Startup command now to
"/usr/local/gnu/bin/fvwm-themes-start -- -l 61" but now my error log has
a lot more to say:

Thanks for your help
